Hello,
thanks for comment, I was afraid my report just faded away.
I've upgraded to Natty and made a little research on my own. The bug is still 
there. I've tried three different programs:
gedit 2.30.4
evince 2.32.0
file-roller 2.32.2

All behave the same in regards to sftp access.
Consider I have a ssh account at sftp enabled server.

Case A:
There is no active connection to the server, as per gvfs-mount -l.
I start the program, choose File > Open and type following into address bar:
sftp://server/home/user/file
then hit Open button. The open dialog box stays numb. Neither error dialog pops 
up,
nor error message is printed to console.

Case B:
There is no active connection to the server, as per gvfs-mount -l.
I start the program with argument sftp://server/home/user/file like this:
gedit sftp://server/home/user/file
Program starts, pops up password dialog. When confirmed, it opens the requested 
document.
Suddenly, server appears mounted as per gvfs-mount -l.

Case C:
Server is mounted as per gvfs-mount -l.
I start the program without any arguments. Go to File > Open and enter again 
the full URI
of my document. Open dialog still stays numb. However mount is present in the 
left-side panel.
If I use mouse to open my document (click mount point and locate and select 
it), it happens so.

I would expect, that entering URI would either open the document and handle 
mount process for me, or display some 
reasonable error/warning.

I hope this helps.
